Flights to Albisheim, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$15,741

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Albisheim vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Albisheim in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
